    WHy my ads are disapproved when i use exclamation mark in display urls.

    Ads like these perform very well when they have an exclamation mark in display url. Recenlty all my ads are disapproved saying violation. i dint see any policy that says i should not have exclamation mark in display url.,

    I know that more than one exclamation mark are not allowed inside the ad., but until recently i was allowed exclamation mark in the display url, Today all are dispproved :(

    I have been rejected in Yahoo, not google. I am not sure, I have seen many trademark ppc ads in both the search engines but they rejected mine.

    The destination URL has to look like a valid URL, using an exclamation mark would violate this.

    I think exclamation points are rather annoying and unprofessional. Not only that, but it is also spammy. Even on top of that, as a publisher perspective, I would hate it. It's possible that it can grab full attention and distract the publisher's visitors.

    Not a good idea, IMO.
    Learn how to word your English more effectively and you'll figure out an advertisement that can draw the attention of a visitor without the need to put more focus on it. :)

    An exclamation mark is not a valid url.
